" I often 'doodle' in paint, preparing and marking surfaces with colours to try them out. These ideas, colour grounds or tests in colour that are around my studio sometimes become paintings where I take them further and add to them making them paintings. This is one such example. When I am painting for myself and doing new things they are very often reactions or interpretations of what is happening in my life at that moment. Like Picasso said 'Painting is just another way of keeping a diary'." Furr 2024
